Summer Reading and Assignment
English IV Honors
May 9, 2017
Dear Parents and English IV Honors/AP Literature students,
North Wilkes High School summer reading for the 2017-2018 English IV Honors/AP Literature courses is now available. Copies of the novels required for the summer reading are available at the high school if students choose not to purchase their own copies. Novels are limited so they will be checked out to students on a first come, first serve basis. Novels will be checked out to students using their student ID number, and students are responsible for returning the novel during the fall semester (fines will be applied if the novel is returned late or lost). Ideally, a student should purchase their own copy of the novel. Students are expected to complete the reading of their novel(s) prior to the first day of class and turn in the required summer assignment. The assignment is 20% of their overall grade. Any student failing to complete the summer assignment by the first day of class will have to accept the outcome of a zero for their grade. If you have any questions about the novel(s) you may contact the main office at North Wilkes High School at 903-4041 and ask to speak to Ms. Sorel (email [email protected]) who is available throughout the summer. The summer assignment can be accessed by clicking on the button below labeled "2017-2018 Required Summer Assignment." Below are the assigned novels based on which courses students have been registered for in the fall semester:
English IV Honors (Fall semester): Students will read Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley for the course. The summer assignment is due on the first day of class.
Advanced Placement Literature and Composition (Spring semester): Students will read Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison for the course. This course begins in the spring semester and students must have this novel read by January 1, 2018. An assignment for the novel will be distributed in December 2017.
Thank you,
